Yardbarker: Darren Carringtonhttp://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/players/darren_carrington/272837
Recent articles about Darren Carringtonen-usUtah football to start spring practices March 5thWe are just a couple of weeks away from the start of spring practice for the Utah football team, and it will be great to see some football. Fans will get a sneak peak at the likes of Jack Tuttle, the highly touted QB signee for the Utes. Also, the Utes will see how Tyler Huntley has progressed since the bowl game, and how the line backer corps looks to reload. I’m very curious to get a good look at the wid receivers Utah has on campus as well. The loss of Darren Carrington and Raelon Singleton are big ones, but I think the Utes have the young talent that can fill the holes left by those two. This is going to be a spring that’s all about learning what holes are going to be filled, because this team is pretty well rounded, at least on paper. Many players will likely be held out, especially some of the upper classmen, but it’s always fun to see what the future looks like for the Utes.
Spring ball will be concluded with the annual Red vs White game on April 14th.

The team suspended him indefinitely at that time, and in the weeks since has opted to dismiss him from its program.“I have visited with Darren Carrington and informed him that he is no longer a member of our program,” Oregon coach Willie Taggart said in a statement (h/t Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. “We will always consider Darren a Duck and support him in any way we can. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”As noted by PFT, Carrington was viewed as a potential mid-round pick if he had come out of school following the 2017 college football season.This incident wasn’t the first instance in which Carrington had run afoul of the law.“He has previously been suspended for failing a drug test, cited fo14 Jul 2017 18:38:24 -0400http://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/oregon_wr_darren_carrington_dismissed_following_duii_arrest/s1_12680_24355858

His court date is set for July 21 at Eugene Municipal Court,” the NFL Network reported on Saturday.We’re not too sure what this means for Carrington’s future with the Ducks. But he did send out a rather ominous Instagram post after being released from jail.

Ducks wide receiver Darren Carrington, who just completed his junior season, defended strength coach Irele Oderinde for the grueling conditioning workouts that resulted in the hospitalizations. In fact, Carrington, who led the Ducks with 606 receiving yards last season, blamed his “out of shape” teammates.
How do suspend a man for three players being out of shape? All I can say is wow!

Carrington called Oderinde the best strength coach he has had.

One team that could have had a vastly different season had things gone their way is the Oregon Ducks.
Had quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. not broken his finger in the opening game of the season, the second game against Michigan State could have gone their way a little better. To add to that, had wide receiver Darren Carrington not had to sit out the first half of the season due to a marijuana suspension, things could have been much different.
“I think if I played a full year, I maybe would have been noticed with those guys, Laquon Treadwell, Josh Doctson, those guys from Baylor (Corey Coleman),” Carrington told 247Sports.
The site also reported that Carrington, a redshirt sophomore, has applied for a NFL Draft grade, but is likely returning to school for at least next season. Being that he did redshirt, he can enter the Draft next April if he so chooses.

After missing the College Football Playoff championship game last season due to a failed drug test, which drew him a five-game suspension this season, Carrington was cited for an open container violation on September 26. Andrew Greif of The Oregonian reported the citation.
Carrington, 20, could thus face another obstacle as he prepares to return to the field. The football program is aware of what happened, but has not commented on the situation.
Needless to say, with Byron Marshall expected to miss some time with a leg injury, Oregon could use all the help it can get in the receiving department in order to salvage its season. The Ducks are 2-2 and effectively out of the College Football Playoff conversation, and Carrington could provide a much-needed boost.

With the Ducks searching for an heir to Mariota’s throne, many fans are pointing towards this young player to be the face of the future. Waller is a dual-threat quarterback, much like Mariota, and is just an inch and 25 pounds smaller than his predecessor. Waller is still young and will likely need time on the sidelines before becoming ready for game action, but the Ducks managed to get a tremendous amount of production from their freshman this past season and could potentially do it again in the form of a young new quarterback.
Travis Waller found tons of success on the ground in high school, averaging 6.9 yards per carry and scoring 26 rushing touchdowns across two seasons.

Big-play Oregon wide receiver Darren Carrington has reportedly been suspended for the team’s National Championship game matchup against Ohio State after apparently testing positive for marijuana.
Oregon redshirt freshman wide receiver Darren Carrington failed a NCAA administered drug test and did not make the trip to Texas for Monday’s national title game against Ohio State at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, according to multiple team sources,” CSNNW.com’s Aaron Fentress is reporting.
Carrington has tallied 37 receptions for over 700 yards this season. He’s seen as the team’s top big-play threat in the passing game. With Carrington likely out, Oregon will have to rely on lesser-known pass catchers to step up in his stead.
Considering Carrington caught seven passes for 165 yards and two scores in the team’s national semifinal matchup against Florida State, replacing him won’t be an easy feat.
Oregon has the right to appeal the suspension.09 Jan 2015 21:18:22 -0500http://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/oregon_wr_darren_carrington_suspended_for_national_title_game/s1_12680_18058109

Oregon WR Darren Carrington caught a ball lying flat on his back in Saturday’s game against Colorado.
As Carrington and a Buffaloes defensive back went up to battle for a jump ball, neither came down with it. Both players fell down, but Carrington was able to get his fingers on the ball and tipped it up in the air.
It then fell right into his hands as he laid flat on his back.
Just how he planned it, right?

Stalwart junior wide receiver Bralon Addison was poised to have a breakout season leading a young Ducks’ receiving corps. Addison was even penned by some to be a dark horse Heisman candidate for the Ducks (Hey! The kid is a difference maker when he’s on the field). He was the Ducks’ returning receiver from 2013, and expected to be quarterback Marcus Mariota’s go-to-man when he was chucking the pigskin down the field. This all changed when Addison tore his ACL while leaving practice early on April 9 on a cart. The explosive junior was going to be a dangerous top receiver pairing with senior Keanon Lowe to give the Ducks some of the best receiver depth they’ve had in recent memory as well as the Pac-12. Now, the departures of 2013’s top receiver Josh Huff and do-it-all scatback De’Anthony Thomas are magnifying as the WR depth is thinning. This isn’t to say Addison’s 17 Apr 2014 14:49:40 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/oregon_football_surviving_without_top_wr_bralon_addison/s1_7899_16294729
